Before joining the AryMing Asset Funding team, Diana was a part-time licensed real estate agent representing distress home owners and specializing in short sale negotiations for 5 years. However, her interest in real estate came about at the age of 19, when she wanted to become a real estate investor. After researching and going through resources on how to get started, she was fortunate to discover the headquarters of a popular local real estate investor’s club was located within her town. She become a member of Garden State Real Estate Investors Association (GSREIA) in 2003, and dedicating her evenings and weekends attending the club’s learning sessions and seminars geared around real estate investing. After putting what she learned into action and received guidance from other members of the club, she negotiated, purchased, and sold her first short sale, single residential property at the age of 21. Months later, she wanted to extend her knowledge in other areas of real estate and became a licensed real estate agent. In 2004, she hung her license with Keller Williams, and with their on-going real estate training program and closing deals, she was able to continue to enhance her real estate career.

In October 2013, she met AryMing Asset Funding founder, Jason Lewis, at one of her listings. Five months later, Jason discovered Diana had the knowledge, experience, skills, and mindset to help build his business, and offered her an executive assistant position within his company.
